Despite losing a key player to injury, the Parkland Panthers vol- leyball team continued its winning ways last week. The Panthers downed Claremont 15-7 and 15-2 in a match-up at Claremont Secondary, Wednesday. Parkland cruised to an easy victory, seeming relaxed through- out and barely breaking into a Sweat. Coach Lome Chan said he had been concerned about the loss Monday night of the team’s best blocker, Steve Lefebvre, who sprained his ankle in action against Belmont. But the Panthers played confi- dently and skillfully against Clare- Beefed-up offense gets Eagles on winning note Using a beefed-up offensive line, the Peninsula Junior B Eagles hockey team convincingly won its last two league games. The Eagles beat the Saanich Braves, 11-9 on Oct. 3, after dumping the Westcom Broncs 11- 5 the night before. Assistant coach Jim Townley said the return of last season’s top league goalscorer Rob Olson has helped turn the team’s fortunes around. “The offensive power of Olson is just great,” he said. Fellow veterans Jim Malkewich and Eric Ojala also make the team much more dangerous in the attack, he said. The trio showcased their com- bined talents by spearheading a goalscoring blitz in the final per- iod of the Oct. 2 win over the Westcom Broncs, he said. The game was tied 4-4 at the end of the second period, but the Eagles racked up seven goals in the third period, compared to the & Broncs one goal. “We just exploded in the third period,” Townley said. In the game against the Saanich Braves, the Eagles once again displayed the team’s newly-found goalscoring power, he said. Despite the Braves’ ability to exploit the Eagles still-weak def- ence, the Peninsula team domi- nated most of the action, he said. However, the recent signing of last season’s team captain Mike — Sato is already paying off, he said. “Sato’s a great playmaker and forechecker. He’s been putting the pressure on. He’s really been com- ing into his own in the last couple of games,” he said.

And sixteen-year-old rookie Rod Sekulich has shown he has great potential, too, he said. “He'll be a tough hockey player. He’s a great winner and is very strong on his feet. He’s already dominating the physical part of the © play,” he said. A new dimension to home games Townley hopes will boost spectator attendance is a “Shoot the Puck Contest,’ he said. With $5,000 on the line, fans will have a chance to take a shot at winning the prize money, starting Oct. 16. : It will be a regular feature of all home games until the end of the season, Townley said.

TheReview — Wednesday, October 10,1999 — B4 mont, he said. “They passed really well and proved to be strongly consistent team,” he said. Power hitters Mike Golin and Chris Good did a fine job while Justin Gayler was very effective attacking and blocking from the middle of the court, he added. In earlier action, the Panthers defeated Belmont 15-9 and 15-11 and tied Spectrum with a 12-15 loss and a 15-11 victory, Oct. 1. Playing at home, the Panthers lost Lefebvre in the second minute of their season-opener against Bel- mont. Chan said the Panthers did well to reorganize after losing Lefebvre before rallying to defeat Belmont. “If we had the services of Lefebvre, we would have won that SPECIALS OPEN FROM 11:00 AM DAILY LUNCH & DINNER ea ee — Volleyball team undefeated as season begins game outstandingly,” he said. “But Tim Archibald did a fine _ § job replacing him.” In the game against a more talented rival, Spectrum Secon- dary, the loss of Lefebvre deprived Parkland of its competitive advan- tage, Chan said. The two teams were very evenly matched, as was reflected by the scorelines, he said. “Tt was neck and neck in bothg, Ba games. They both could have gone either way,” he said. With Parkland’s toughest test so far coming in a home game tonight with main rivals Mt. Doug, Chan hopes Lefebvre will be back in action to tip the scales in his team’s favor.
